1942 Map of Sprague

About this map

Sprague serves as the primary hub in this southwest Missouri landscape during the early 1940s, situated at the junction of several rural routes. The map documents a transition in local transportation, clearly marking the Missouri Pacific line alongside an Old Railroad Grade that hints at former transit corridors through the rolling hills. The land is defined by a dense network of country schools, including Montgomery Sch and Sartorius Sch, reflecting a time when educational life was decentralized across the townships of Howard and Osage.
